Who is Dr. Bill Jenson?

Dr. Jenson is currently a Professor in the Department of Educational Psychology at the University fo Utah. His research interests include externalizing behavior disorders, the management of noncompliance and aggression, practical classroom behavior management, behavioral assessment, academic intervention and parent training.

What to expect on this day?

This presentation will focus on the practical management of students with significant emotional and/or behavioral challenges.

These students are frequently referred to as "Tough Kids" because they exhibit strong behavioral excesses such as arguing, noncompliance, and aggression while at the same time they possess significant behavioral deficits in self-management (rule governed behavior), social skills, and academic abilities.

This presentation will review what causes "Tough Kid" behavior, how to practically assess it, and strategies to remediate it. An emphasis will be placed on proactive strategies and positive behavior management interventions such as Mystery Motivators, the "Sure I Will" program, the "Yes and No" classroom management program, reward spinners, a whole school positive discipline program (Principal’s 200 Club), Superheroes Social Skills and several others.

Strategies to decrease the behavioral excesses of noncompliance and arguing will include "What If Charts", effective classroom rule design, and precision requests. In addition, information will also be presented on how to influence other people, such as parents and other educators, to follow through and implement these techniques. All the strategies to be presented will be research validated positive interventions that can be time efficiently implemented in classrooms at low cost.
